Note that Laurel & Hardy appeared in this movie as a favor to producer Hal Roach (who had launched their career as a comedy team), and agreed to low billing, and to appear in a corner of the advertising, because their presence and their billing at that time was sure to greatly enhance the box office of this movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. There is very slight darkening in the extreme outer edges of the left and right blank borders. There is a thin scuff line running down the lower center of the image, but it is not very distracting. There is a pinhole at top center, a small diagonal crease in the lower right blank corner, and a very faint water stain in the lower left blank corner. There are ten areas of surface paper loss on the back of the card where tape was roughly removed, but it has no effect on the front. Other than the above defects, the card is in nice condition, and it displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
